Cheesy Shrimp Creole
Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 carrots, diced
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped celery
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 pound cooked shrimp
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento peppers, drained
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
Instructions
1
Begin by placing water in a saucepan and bringing it to the boiling point. Introduce rice into the saucepan, stirring gently to combine. Decrease heat levels and cover the saucepan, allowing it to simmer for 20 minutes before setting it aside temporarily.
2
Concurrently, preheat the oven to a moderate temperature of 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
3
In a large cooking vessel or pot, melt butter over medium heat and sauté a medley of vegetables including carrots, onions, bell pepper, celery, mushrooms, and zucchini until they are just tender. Introduce tomatoes and tomato sauce into the pot, stirring constantly to combine. Allow this mixture to cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently throughout the process.
4
Combine shrimp, pimientos, and chili powder in the pot. Introduce cooked rice into the mixture and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
5
Transfer the combined mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and allow it to thicken, approximately taking 40 minutes.
